They showed me
yes I can see
You are entrapped
lost as can be

Old patterns create the habit
the habit becomes the motive
enslaved by masterful mind games
renders you captive

Hidden amongst the living
deep inside this grave
buried between sorrow
and the will to stay alive

The lies for sale are cheap
you buy them by the handful
gorging on self imposed misery
and choking on every mouthful

A life in aggressive disarray
faith quickly fading away
while impulse steals reality
and Jones controls the day

You and I
walk together
beholden to the moonlight
to day's light and days late
destined
to remain here
though not forever

I with you
and you with me
intertwined
with complicated ties
holding us together
in threads
Though not forever

You and I
skin deep
layered with lifetimes
of epidermal decay
visceral wounds
neither one will confess
though not forever

We walk together
Separating
you and I
I with you
seeking connectedness
knowing the truth of our existence
though not entirely

I witnessed magic today
Saw them gather round
as sparkles of light
fell down
from beyond this realm
and intentions gave way
from a thousand miles away

Body glistening
from the inside out
plugged in to source
as above so below
I witnessed your soul
embrace the angel's way
from a thousand miles away

I felt deeply
this state of being
you, vibrant and gleaming
and at Love's command
they took your hand
and miracles gave way
from a thousand miles away

Can You see me?
Glistening with your morning dew
Passionately but peacefully
discovering the likeness of me
In You

Can You embrace me?
The all of me
the unacceptable
the unruly
the suspicious and untrue me
While I chase the knowingness of You
within me

Will You connect to me?
The culmination
of intricate pieces
perfectly created to define
that which is me
of You

Will You come for me?
The lost yet hopeful one
who denies her self-love
and soulful divinity
who won't ever give up
the quest for truth
and the journey back to You
to find Us all

I want to be uplifted
by the rays of the rising sun
but I am sinking
mangled
in twisted debris
drowning at the bottom
of this raging river

Uplift me

I want to be encapsulated
By endless skies
Free to dream
But I hide
From the light
Self-imprisoned
in this nightmare
On the dark side of the moon

Come find me

I want to walk with the courage of a lion
Resilient and brave
Instead I am crippled
weakened by memories
of a wounded child
The past my story
This victim my crutch

Walk with me

I want to drift peacefully
into sweet slumber
As the soft melody of the lone lark
tweets outside my window
Instead I lay wide-eyed
and bewildered
attacked by vultures
inside my head

*Guide me
